Karnataka to move SC against HC ruling on SC/ST quota increase

The Karnataka Cabinet has decided to file a special leave petition in the Supreme Court. This petition aims to challenge the recent High Court ruling on increased SC/ST reservation. The ruling reduced the overall quota in education and jobs back to 50%. Officials will evaluate the implications for current and future recruitments based on this decision. Discussions regarding the reservation framework may also involve the Union government's role.

Ktaka govt to move SC against HC verdict on SC/ST quota hike

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 15 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister G. Parameshwara on Thursday said the state government would file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court challenging the High Court verdict quashing the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. He also said the government was preparing a final memorandum on drought losses and plans to take an all-party delegation to the Centre to seek relief. Responding to questions on the sting video controversy, he clarified that the issue was not discussed at the Cabinet meeting and no decision was taken on an investigation. Speaking to the media outside Vidhana Soudha after the Cabinet meeting, Parameshwara said the final memorandum was expected to be ready within the next one or two days. Earlier, 217 taluks had been declared drought-hit. With the addition of nine more taluks, the total has increased to 226, he said. The drought situation in the remaining taluks is being assessed. Taluks that meet the eligibility criteria under Trigger-1 will undergo a ground-truthing exercise. If they are found eligible following the assessment, additional taluks will be included in the drought-hit list. Otherwise, the existing list of 226 taluks will remain final, he clarified. Parameshwara said Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had instructed the government to take an all-party delegation to the Centre to submit the final memorandum. Although opposition parties had already expressed their unwillingness to participate in the delegation, the government would contact them again and request their participation, he said. If they agree to participate, it would be good. Otherwise, the Chief Minister, I and a few ministers will visit Delhi and seek appointments with the concerned Union Ministers and the Prime Minister, Parameshwara said. The delegation would explain the severity of the drought in Karnataka, highlight the need for relief and submit the final memorandum to the Centre, he added. The state has estimated drought-related losses at around Rs 46,000 crore so far. Preliminary estimates suggest that the total losses could reach Rs 60,000 crore to Rs 70,000 crore after the final assessment, Parameshwara said. However, the state cannot seek compensation from the Centre for the entire estimated loss. The amount eligible for relief must be calculated separately in accordance with the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) guidelines, he explained. Last year, despite estimated losses of around Rs 49,000 crore, the state had sought approximately Rs 18,000 crore in relief from the Centre under the NDRF guidelines. Similarly, if the losses this year reach around Rs 60,000 crore, the state may seek relief of approximately Rs 18,000 crore to Rs 20,000 crore, depending on the applicable guidelines, he said. Parameshwara clarified that these were preliminary estimates and that the final amount would be determined only after completing the assessment of losses and calculations under the NDRF guidelines. Parameshwara also said the state government had decided to challenge the High Court verdict quashing the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes before the Supreme Court. A decision had been taken to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court, he said. Further legal and administrative measures would be discussed by the Political Affairs Committee. The possibility of including the reservation provisions under the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution would also be discussed before deciding on the next course of action, he added. Responding to a question about a probe by investigative agencies into the sting video controversy, Parameshwara said the matter had not been discussed at the Cabinet meeting. No discussion took place on this issue during the Cabinet meeting, and no decision was taken regarding an investigation, he said.

Ktaka govt launches special food safety drive during festive season

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 15 (IANS) The Karnataka Food Safety and Drugs Administration has launched a special inspection drive across the state from October 15 to 17 to ensure the availability of safe and quality sweets during the upcoming festive season. The drive, conducted on the directions of Health and Family Welfare Minister U.T. Khader and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), has covered 80 sweet manufacturing and sales establishments, with notices issued to 10 units for alleged violations of food safety standards. According to a press release issued by the Commissioner of Food Safety and Drugs Administration, a total of 125 food samples were collected during the inspections and sent to the respective government food laboratories for analysis. The samples will be examined to assess their quality and determine whether they comply with the prescribed food safety standards. During the inspections, officials identified several irregularities at sweet manufacturing and sales establishments. The preparation and storage areas of some units were found to be maintained under unhygienic conditions, raising concerns over the safety and quality of the food products being prepared and sold to consumers. Officials also found that food handlers at certain establishments did not possess medical certificates. In addition, some food business operators had not obtained the mandatory licences or registrations required under the food safety regulations. Following these findings, the department issued notices to 10 sweet manufacturing units and food business operators. Further legal action will be initiated against those found violating the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the relevant rules and regulations, the department stated. As part of the statewide exercise, Designated Officers and Food Safety Officers have been directed to inspect sweet manufacturing units and sales establishments within their respective district jurisdictions between October 15 and 17. The department said the special drive was aimed at ensuring that consumers have access to safe and quality sweets during the festive period, when demand for such products typically increases. Inspections would continue against establishments violating food safety and quality standards. The department warned that stringent legal action would be taken against violators in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
